College Access Summit

Central Consolidated School District will host the College Access Summit on Tuesday, April 24 at Bond Wilson Technical Center in Kirtland.

The College Access Summit will bring together students from San Juan County and colleges and universities from across the country, including some of the most prestigious in the nation.

“The College Access Summit is exactly what it sounds like, an opportunity for students in our rural communities to have face-to-face interaction with representatives from top universities,” event organizer Darah Tabrum, CCSD’s coordinator of academies, said. “There are universities who see value in what our students, especially Native American students, have to offer. They see value in their traditional experiences and that value can potentially lead to scholarship offers.”

The Summit is designed for students in grades 6-11 and will include workshop sessions on preparing college applications, writing application essays and a college fair.
